About
Beautiful, delicate yet unbelievably resilient, the butterfly is one of nature’s most enigmatic creatures. A story of adaptation and survival, we follow the vast migrations of the Blue Tigers of Australia and the Monarchs of North America and Mexico.
With the help of cutting edge slow-motion, drone and macro filming techniques, we see the butterflies’ tiny world in immaculate detail as they overcome the challenges of metamorphosis and migration, fly thousands of kilometers and as high as 3300 meters. Butterfly Journey reveals our interconnected and awe-inspiring world on the giant screen, through the eyes of the butterflies. Yet what fate awaits them when the fine-tuned climates they intimately know suddenly shift?
Meet the characters
Monarch
The Monarch's life cycle is a marvel, undergoing metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar, pupa, and finally emerging as a magnificent butterfly. Its distinctive coloration serves as a warning to predators, signaling its unpalatability due to toxins absorbed from milkweed plants, which are crucial for their survival.
Australian Blue
The Australian Blue Butterfly, belonging to the family Lycaenidae, captivates with its stunning iridescent blue wings. With various species spread across the continent, these butterflies add a touch of brilliance to Australia's diverse ecosystems. Their intricate life cycle involves a fascinating mutualistic relationship with native ants.
